Last week you mentioned that your Sweetie was becoming more distant and my heart hurt for you. It still does. But I love and admire you for your resilience. You are nothing if not strong ... even if you don't always feel that way. Your ovely GCW group no doubt helps you through many of these times and as always, you're in my thoughts.

I wish I could have been with you when you saw that!<br />Your picture of the brothers holding hands is so bittersweet. When my mother-in-law could no longer recognize any of us, she would still hold the hand of her son (my hubby) at every visit. The heart never forgets! <br /><br />xo,<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344086795897680409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-38946719079963216512012-03-29T00:23:50.335-05:002012-03-29T00:23:50.335-05:00Hi Deanna,

The most difficult thing is when something reminds you of the strength they once had. It must have been difficult for your sister-in-law to see the reality. God is good when he let's us slowly wrap our arms around this surreal disease one day at a time. Even though those days sometimes can feel like an eternity.<br /><br />How blessed you are to have this group of women. You know Deanna, I have asked myself so many times what I have learned from all of this. I think it is to cherish this very moment and embrace all the good around me. Life is so fragile.<br /><br />Have a beautiful day.<br /><br />KarenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487481759201796912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395338289033622908.post-1409804610975927032012-03-29T00:14:01.764-05:002012-03-29T00:14:01.764-05:00I have no words for how touching your post is.
